Carrie, I have just gotten the second PI rash of my life, and have noticed that the site of the WORST part of the FIRST rash is again irritated, only much less than before, much less than the new rash. AND I'm pretty positve that I didn't even get the poison on this re-inflammed spot. I definitely think it is a residual effect, not a coincidence. I have noticed a few mentions of becoming MORE sensitized over time, which suggests a residual effect as well.
Sorry, I have no explanation, but I wanted you to know I am having a similar experience, and I know this: Even without new poison contact, exceptional stress of any kind can produce a wide variety of health problems. A returning rash is likely... |
